[Youtube] Cubing World

[Ickathu]

oh right.
I will try as hard as I can to get some free time so I can make some more videos before Friday, but I can't make any promises. I've got karate tonight and tomorrow night, a dentist appointment tomorrow, and I need to pack for a 10 day thanksgiving vacation to Chicago and St. Louis.
I'll try though.
Yo no estoy muy buena a este.

Hey, I was wondering can I request a video to be made? I would really like to see some 5x5 walkthrough solves. I have watched most of the decent ones around and can't seem to find more so I was hoping one of you guys who is good at the 5x5 could make that video. If no one can I understand.

I just need ideas and a laptop and a tripod if you want the videos in hd but I will be post quite a few vids of the comp I go to on the 9th at least I plan to. The videos will be on my channel and cubingworld. And it's a New Zealand competiton

It's probably better if you just put those on you're channel. Plus you've been making lots of videos recently so it's not really you I was talking about.

Fixed that for you (I think)

I could try to do that, I'm okay at 5x5, it's just that my recognition and lookahead is bad, so I guess I'll make that. Or probably a complete square-1 tutorial with minimal algs to solve it.

I'll do it I avg about 1:30 so I guess I'm good for doing it.

I plan on Making one big video and only sending in one or two solves or a greaves to cubingworld or something

First of all what? Second of all, I think videos on cubing world should be more on the instructional side, and solves can just go on people's own channels.

Agree that solves can just go on people's own channels. But I don't think it only needs to be instructional per se. Like documentary on what actually is the "cubing world". (Who are those crazy speedcubers?) Reactions from non-cubers. Stuff like that. Or tx789 can go to the comp and ask one or two questions of any cuber who would be willing to (on video for Cubing World). Something interesting but short. Like, ask which cubers have inspired them. I don't go to comps (not yet anyway) or else I would do something.

Good point. I overlooked that. XD

Since the start of this thread, it has seemed like a good and interesting idea. I kind of don't have time to make a video a month (or commit to doing that) or I would consider doing some videos for Cubing World. If the guidelines are changed, I would do some videos when I can. Are you still accepting members?

Some thoughts:
- Is this thread the place for others to post things they want to see (like the requested 5x5 walkthrough solves)? And members should be able to choose from a list of ideas sent in by others. The list should be easy to find.
- It would be awesome if Cubing World could have an intro bit and every uploaded video would have that at the beginning and clearly also say which member is doing that video and what type of video or topic and what cube. Makes everything look more organized. Like, think about the intros to CrazyBadCuber vids or cyoubx, for example. Except it will say Cubing World.
- I've read comments on having fun doing this. I think it's more fun for everyone involved if there is quality in everyone's work. It's more exciting to make videos for a channel where there are other great people doing great stuff. I'd even prefer quality over quantity. Yes, it's nice to get a video every couple days, but I think I'd rather have just one video a week that is good.
- I hope you guys are doing some critique stuff for each other privately to improve the quality (where it's lacking).
- Whoever is uploading videos or is in charge of Cubing World, I think if the videos you get from members aren't up to par with what you want in this channel, I say don't upload it. That might offend someone, but if it were me and I sent a video you thought wasn't really great, you could just tell me and if I still wanted it up I would just post it on my own channel instead. Or reshoot it or whatever.

^I concur

Greaves? I meant average apple spell check on a iPod

Cubing World NEWS!

Hey what's up everyone. Well, the whole Cubing World community has been pretty inactive lately so I decided to share a few updates with you.
As you may already know Cubing World has 16 members. Well, we recently lost 3 members: Edward(twistnturn44), Waffo(Cubes4Lyfe) and ottozing. They decided to leave on their own because of being unable to make videos for us. But, today we got one new member. He is known on Youtube as ParadoxCubing. So, now we will be accepting two more members. If you would like to become a member of Cubing World you can send your video to [email protected] with WeTransfer.com, it's a site that allows you to send big files (like long HD videos). It has to be an Introduction video in which you tell us who you are, what's your cubing history, what event in cubing are you particularly good at, what kind of videos you will be making and how you will be beneficial to the channel. As for the lack of videos, I don't know why most of the members aren't posting videos but I hope everyone has their reasons (other than lazyness). I'm sure all of our members are very busy in real life, probably with school. We apologize if you were bothered by our lack of videos.
anyway, other than our lack of videos, I think our channel has been doing very well. In just 7 weeks we have already earned 250 subscribers. I hope our members will start making videos soon and I'm pretty sure you can expect a lot of them when the WInter break starts. OK guys, thank you for subscribing and keep supporting us with watching our videos and your commenting, subscribing, liking and favoriting.

 

[tx789]

My school ends on the 8th but I will be up North(north of Auckland) by the comp I go to on the 9th for a week making videos might be I little hard and I hope a have a laptop by then

 

[Noahaha]

I think we have a pretty good channel going. If you're in America, you don't have school for the next five days most likely. I would make four videos a week, but that wouldn't really make sense. Someone has to have the time...

 

[tx789]

I'll try and make one today after school I finish on the 6th dec and start again aroun. February 1 anyway I have most of December and all of January off for the summer Christmas holidays
The vid may be CLL recognition vid for a sub set or two

I feel like such a bad member...

OK SO HERE'S THE DEAL:

Cubingworld got off to a very good but bumpy start. Recently the videos have been sparse and the quality has not been very high. We now have a good base of subscribers, but it's time to get things organized so that we can put out more videos with higher quality.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, SEASON 1 OF CUBINGWORLD IS OVER.

Season 2 will start on February 1 2013.

Anyone who wants to be part of season 2, including people who were already part of season one need to send me a PM outlining what their contribution to cubingworld will be for season 2. The people who I approve (which will be most of you), will be required to send in at least FIVE videos using the normal submission system before January 25. I expect these to be quality videos, and I will ask people whose videos are not good enough to remake them. If you are new, one of your videos will have to be an introduction. Two months should be plenty of time to make five videos, especially if you have your Winter break during that time. If you do not think you will have the time to make five videos, no problem, you can just be part of season 3 or season 4 etc.

The advantages of this system is that everyone is either in or out, and there will be no half commitments. Starting February 1 I will upload two or three videos a week to the channel, and during the mean time we can start getting our season 3 lineup in order. I think that implementing this system will make sure that cubingworld does not fall apart like other collaborations, and once February comes around we will have a good steady stream of quality content. I know that some of our subscribers will be disappointed about the hiatus, but in the end cubingworld will be a better channel for it.

Also, the channel will be reorganized to reflect this change and there will likely be a cubingworld website in the future featuring the videos as well as written tutorials.

I am soon going to upload my BLD tutorials to my channel, and my 3-style tutorial will still be coming out in the next few weeks, just not on cubingworld.

Hopefully this new system will motivate people to make quality videos without the disadvantages of having a set group of members and having videos uploaded haphazardly.

=)
